NYP Design and Construction
NYP BEST PRACTICES

2. Improving Project Budgets and Schedules
How do we Accomplish this Task?
Working together as Partners
Developing better Construction Documents by:
Understanding and supporting clients program needs.
Implementing and Utilizing NYP standards.
Coordinate with all affected parties.
Ensuring the Project Team conducts a thorough
Feasibility.
As todays market place becomes more competitive and prices continue to rise we the Project Team (Owner, Stakeholders, Architect, Engineer, Consultants, Commissioning Agent, Facilities Operations, Internal NYP partners) need to control cost and time.
How do we Accomplish this Task?
Working together as Partners and collaborating our efforts as a Team.
Developing better Construction Documents by:
Understanding the Clients and Stakeholders program needs and clearly documenting the requirements.
Implementing and Utilizing NYP standards ( Interiors, MEP, Security, IT)
Engaging our Facilities Design and Construction Engineering and Facilities Operations Team.
Ensuring the Project Team conducts a thorough and complete Feasibility Analysis.

3. FEASIBILITY STUDIES
An Analysis and Evaluation of a proposed project to determine if:
Technically Feasible
Is Feasible within the Estimated Cost
Will be Profitable
Our Goal is to conclude the project is able to be implemented to success as it is Carefully Planned.
Project Historical Data:
A majority of our projects are coming in over budgeted.
Projects have significant schedule delays.
Feasibility Studies budget and schedules are not holding through design.

4. Improving Feasibility Studies
Devote ample time to the Feasibility studies.
Clearly understand the Program Elements of the project.
Identify Decants.
Survey with additional probing of spaces.
Provide Regulatory and Code Analysis.
Obtain baseline data.
Identify Risk Factors
Coordinate with our Partners.
Spend ample time on Feasibility studies.
Clearly understand the Program Elements of the project. Identify decants if required.
Need to be more thorough with surveys and probes in the existing spaces.
Complete and thorough Regulatory and Code Analysis.
Testing for asbestos.
Survey above the ceilings for MEP existing conditions.
Probe shafts in multiple locations to document existing conditions.
Meet with FDC-E and Facilities Operations, Commissioning Agent, CM/GC, NYP IT, Bio Med, Clinical Technology Procurement group, Office of Regulatory Planning, Fire and Safety.
Obtain air balancing baseline data.
Identify Risk factors.

5. Customize Ceilings don’t work with our Infection Control Cubes

6. Accessibility to Replace Light Fixtures

7. Existing Conditions – Deteriorated Pipes
Existing Perimeter Heating Lines on 10 North (before replacement)

8. Lobby Heating & Cooling

9. Process and Plan

10. How can you Help ? Partnership and Teamwork
Develop thorough documents during Feasibility
Utilize NYP Interior and MEP standards
Bridge gaps through MEP and document coordination inclusive of FFE
Don’t specify long lead material if project schedule is time or schedule sensitive
Vision the facilities maintenance process during design to allow for easy staff accessibility

Develop thorough documents during Feasibility
Utilize NYP Interior and MEP standards
Bridge gaps through MEP and document coordination inclusive of FFE
Don’t specify long lead material if project schedule is time or schedule sensitive
Vision the facilities maintenance process during design to allow for easy staff accessibility
Identify all Risk Factors and document or provide allowances in budget
Design and deliver construction documents within budget that are ready to bid
Value Engineer during Feasibility phase if necessary and not during design phase The credits received during construction don’t represent the true value of the work
Mitigate change orders during construction by documenting what was surveyed during construction.
